Jennifer Hudson very much deserved the award, she stole every scene she was in and was excellent in Dreamgirls. Obviously she's not in the same leage as Cate Blanchett (does anyone think she is?) acting wise but in "this" she was perfect.

It's got nothing to do with race, although Denzel Washington winning the Oscar for Training Day was! A very average film and performance.

NONE of the 3 songs from this film won in the Best Original Song category at this year's Oscars. I laughed my a$$ off when they lost to Melissa Etheridge's song from An Inconvenient Truth.

Never got around to seeing this, and never really cared to. I'll end up watching it sometime after its DVD release, but I'm not worrying about it. Not a big fan of movie musicals, but Moulin Rouge is my only exception. I did recently watch Joel Schumacher's Phantom of the Opera and Chris Columbus's Rent and enjoyed them overall, but wouldn't watch either over and over again.

And Best Director and Best Picture should have went to Christopher Nolan's The Prestige. My favorite film of 2006 BY FAR.

Why do some people always have to make a racial issue out of everything? Cate Blanchett is an experienced and accomplished actress and Jennifer Hudson is a singer in her first movie role. I don't think there's any question as to who is the better actress and it has nothing to do with race.

I think Jennifer Hudson did an okay job in Dreamgirls. Not great, but okay. She's a great singer (and I absolutely love women with powerful voices), but she's not a particularly experienced actress. She's pretty damn sexy though.

Oh, and it's 'yourselves', not 'yourselfs'. If you're gonna insult people by insinuating that they're racists, at least do it properly.

UNITED 93 sucked period. this movie was okay- tho i like how they put up jennifer hudson name of the front - and how the f- does beyonce keep getting movie roles- she doesnt know how to act :x will pick up the blu-ray one for the wifey.

i dont know why but i get the feeling alot of you are mad because a black girl won the oscar and a white lady name Cate Blanchett didnt win squat- get over yourselfs- Jennifer did a good job- Beyonce please dont ever act again- stick to your singing :x

I will pass for good. I couldn't be less interested. Jennifer Hudson annoys me. I agree that Cate Blanchett should have won. She was the most deserving nominee in the category. Abigail Breslin didn't deserve anything, nor did the overrated Little Miss Sunshine. I'll admit I was happy Arkin beat Murphy though just because I hate Eddie Murphy and he seemed like such a major pr*ck at the awards.

I haven't seen it yet, but, I definitely will. I actually like the two disc cover better. I like the red and orange glare and how it sorta glows around the three girls. I also like the outfits better on this cover.

I would've puked if Greengrass beat Scorsese, who should've won 27 years ago.

Eddie Murphy was robbed on this one. Alan Arkin, yeah, was good as the sterotypical grumpy old man, but please, Murphy takes home the award at every other awards ceremony but the Oscars? Best Supporting Actor continues to be the category that the voters like to reward the "old-timer" every so often at the expense of a great performance of a younger actor.

Or the little girl from Little Miss Sunshine. She was really good. Agreed with Chris.

There wasn't exactly as lot of depth to Jennifer Hudson's character either. She spent the whole thing singing, not acting, and it didn't stop her. I thought Abigail Breslin was good, as was Alan Arkin.

No it was not!!! United 93 was a wonderful docudrama, but not much more.

Guys, guys, you're both wrong. "Children of Men" and "The Departed" tie for best movie of 2006. No doubt about it.

I admit, I was surprised to see an indie director like Bill Condon (who helmed "Gods and Monsters" and "Kinsey" ) do a big-budget movie musical like this one. I guess he must've loved the Broadway musical enough to make a movie out of it, though.

And I hate how Paramount has gotten into the ploy of dual-releases on their big titles. First it was Fox, then the WB, then Universal and now Paramount are thrusting these overpriced 2-disc editions on us consumers. I don't mind the studios giving the consumers the choice, but they should make the single-disc and double-disc editions the same SRP so that they'll be fair on the consumers.

"Dreamgirls" was one of the year's best movies. Jennifer Hudson gave an amazing performance, though I noticed that, until she got all of the wonderful press and won the Oscar, she wasn't even mentioned in the movie's promotion. Now, her name is on the cover.
